		</div><p>President Donald Trump has been stepping up his search for a national security adviser as well as focusing on healthcare in talks with his health and budget chiefs.</p>
<p>Reince Priebus, Mr Trump&#8217;s chief of staff, used appearances on Sunday news shows to echo the president&#8217;s complaints about media coverage of the White House, citing what he said were multiple accomplishments in the first few weeks of the administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;The truth is that we don&#8217;t have problems in the West Wing,&#8221; Mr Priebus told NBC&#8217;s Meet the Press.</p>
<p>He also denied a report that Trump advisers were in touch with Russian intelligence advisers during the 2016 campaign and said he had assurances from &#8220;the top levels of the intelligence community&#8221; that it was false.</p>
<p>After weeks of tumult in Washington, Mr Trump returned to Florida and his private club for a third straight weekend as he tries to refocus.</p>
<p>After a raucous campaign rally on Saturday night, Mr Trump and his wife Melania stopped by a fundraiser at his private Palm Beach club, put on by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.</p>
<p>High on Mr Trump&#8217;s to-do list is finding a replacement for ousted Michael Flynn as national security adviser.</p>
<p>Scheduled to discuss the job with the president at Mar-a-Lago were his acting adviser, retired Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg; John Bolton, a former US ambassador to the United Nations; Army Lieutenant General HR McMaster and Lieutenant General Robert Caslen, superintendent of the US Military Academy at West Point.</p>
<p>Mr Trump pushed out Mr Flynn last Monday after revelations he misled Vice President Mike Pence about discussing sanctions with Russia&#8217;s ambassador to the US during the presidential transition.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said in a news conference on Thursday that he was disappointed by how Mr Flynn had treated Mr Pence, but did not believe Mr Flynn had done anything wrong by having the conversations.</p>
<p>Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward, Mr Trump&#8217;s first choice to replace Mr Flynn, turned down the offer.<br />
Mr Trump was also expected to discuss healthcare policy in a meeting with Health Secretary Tom Price and Mick Mulvaney, director of the White House budget office.</p>
<p>Top House Republicans last week presented a rough sketch of a health overhaul to rank-and-file lawmakers that would void President Barack Obama&#8217;s 2010 law and replace it with conservative policies.</p>
<p>It features a revamped Medicaid program for the poor, tax breaks to help people pay doctors&#8217; bills and federally-subsidised state pools to assist those with costly medical conditions in buying insurance.</p>
<p>House Speaker Paul Ryan has said Republicans would introduce legislation repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act after Congress returns in late February, but he offered no specifics.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has lurched from crisis to crisis since the inauguration, including the botched roll-out of his immigration order, struggles confirming his Cabinet picks and a near-constant stream of reports about strife within his administration.</p>
<p>Mr Priebus said: &#8220;The fact of the matter is the level of accomplishment that he&#8217;s put forward so far in the first 30 days has been remarkable.&#8221;</p>
